Tuesday to Tuesday
1. Is lightning in the forecast? Yes. Lightning will be possible today and again Wednesday into Thursday night.
2. Are severe thunderstorms in the forecast? Possible. A few storms could be severe today with damaging wind gusts. There is also a chance of a few reports of hail. The tornado risk is low, but it is not zero. Monitor your Beau Dodson Weather app.

The NWS officially defines a severe thunderstorm as a storm with 58 mph wind or greater, 1″ hail or larger, and/or tornadoes
3. Is flash flooding in the forecast? Yes. Heavy rain is likely today and again Wednesday into Thursday night. Flash flooding and general flooding will be possible. Avoid flooded roadways.
4. Will the wind chill dip below 10 degrees? Monitor. Wind chill temperatures may approach 10 degrees Wednesday night into Friday morning.
5. Is measurable snow or ice in the forecast? Likely. A mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow will be possible Wednesday into Thursday night. At this time, confidence in the placement of the greatest risk zone remains low. The risk will be higher across southeast Missouri and southern Illinois, but this will depend on the placement of the area of low pressure and the stationary front. The entire area has at least some risk of a wintry mix from the mid to late week system. Monitor updates moving forward. Confidence in the forecast details will increase over the next couple of days.
6. Will the heat index top 100 degrees? No.

Today through February 27th: There is a chance of severe thunderstorms today. The primary concern will be damaging wind gusts. A few storms could produce hail, as well. There is a low-end tornado risk. Monitor your Beau Dodson Weather app.
.
.
Today’s outlook (below).
Light green is where thunderstorms may occur but should be below severe levels.
Dark green is a level one risk. Yellow is a level two risk. Orange is a level three (enhanced) risk. Red is a level four (moderate) risk. Pink is a level five (high) risk.
One is the lowest risk. Five is the highest risk.
A severe storm is one that produces 58 mph wind or higher, quarter size hail, and/or a tornado.
The tan states are simply a region that SPC outlined on this particular map. Just ignore that.
The black outline is our local area.

Today and tonight
The LIVE severe weather blog has been activated. Link https://wp-talk.weathertalk.com/live-severe-weather-blog-february-21st-and-22nd-2022/
A cold front is pushing into the region from the west.
Widespread showers and thunderstorms today. Flooding is a significant concern where the heavier rain bands develop. Expect flood and flash flood warnings.
The Gulf of Mexico is wide open and that means plenty of shower and thunderstorm activity. Locally heavy rain totals. Some locations could top three inches of rain today. This will lead to a flood threat.
You can see this dew point map showing the surge of moisture coming up the Mississippi River Delta.
Higher dew points equal heavy rain potential.
As always, avoid flooded roadways.
.
Showers and thunderstorms will begin to push further east by this evening into the overnight hours. Ending west to east.
The atmosphere is unstable today and a few storms could become severe with damaging wind and hail. There is also a low-end tornado risk. Monitor your Beau Dodson Weather app. Seek shelter if a warning is issued. Remember, a warning means to take action. A severe thunderstorm in or near your location is imminent
A flood watch blankets the entire area.
.
Wednesday into early Friday morning.
A winter storm will impact the region during this time-frame.
Additional rounds of heavy rain will occur Wednesday into early Friday morning. The peak of this precipitation event will be Wednesday afternoon/night into early Thursday morning and then again Thursday night. Two distinct rounds of precipitation. An additional one to two inches of liquid precipitation will occur. Locally higher totals are possible.
That means rain totals from today through Friday could exceed four or five inches in some counties.
Here is the WPC/NOAA official rainfall forecast for this week. Keep in mind, totals will vary and will be highly dependent on showers and thunderstorms training over the same area. Where this training occurs is where the biggest rain totals will occur.
Double click images on the blog to enlarge them.
That is a lot of rain!
Here is the excessive rainfall outlook for today. This is where flooding is most likely.
Red is the highest risk on this map. Then yellow and then green.
Tomorrow. This is where the flooding risk will be highest Wednesday and Wednesday night.
Thursday’s excessive rainfall outlook. Additional heavy precipitation is likely Thursday and Thursday night.
.
Winter storm watches, winter weather advisories, and ice storm warnings are a possibility Wednesday into Friday morning.
There remain significant questions about the exact placement of the freezing line. This will, of course, be key to who receives frozen precipitation vs plain rain.
I am forecasting all types of precipitation in the region. That includes a chance of thunderstorms, rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow.
At this time, the winter storm threat is higher across southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. The risk could push into Kentucky and Tennessee, but there remain questions about this.
Accumulation snow and ice will occur with this event.
Let me show you what the WPC/NOAA is forecasting as far as the placement of freezing rain.
What are the chances of 0.10″ or greater of freezing rain accumulation?
What are the chances of 0.25″ or greater of freezing rain accumulation?
What are the chances of 0.50″ or greater of freezing rain accumulation?
As you can see above, southeast Missouri and southern Illinois have the highest risk of ice accumulation. That does not mean Kentucky and Tennessee are out of the woods.
A frontal boundary will drape itself across our region. This frontal boundary will divide below freezing air to the north with above freezing air to the south.
Two waves of low pressure will ripple along this frontal boundary. That means more precipitation.
If you have travel plans Wednesday afternoon into Friday then you will want to monitor the latest forecast. Some travel impacts are likely in our region.
Models vary on where to place the freezing line through this entire winter storm event. Most of the models place it somewhere near the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.
Temperatures may warm a bit Thursday ahead of the second wave of precipitation. This will serve to only complicate the forecast. It could, however, be good news if we could melt some of the freezing rain off the trees and power lines.
Here is the NAM model. Temperatures.
You can see, at this point, colder air pushing into the region from the west/northwest. Warmer air ahead of the front.

Again, as a reminder, these are models. They are never 100% accurate. Take the general idea from them.
What should I take from these?
- The general idea and not specifics. Models usually do well with the generalities.
- The time-stamp is located in the upper left corner.
.
What am I looking at?
You are looking at different models. Meteorologists use many different models to forecast the weather. All models are wrong. Some are more wrong than others. Meteorologists have to make a forecast based on the guidance/models.
I show you these so you can see what the different models are showing as far as precipitation. If most of the models agree, then the confidence in the final weather forecast increases.
